Small and smart waterproof tracker

KNOW YOUR DEVICE

HOW TO REMOVE COVER

	Device casing is designed to be water-proof and meets IP69K requirements. Please note that once the cover is fully clipped, it will require additional plastic pry tools to be opened! Please make sure to review the short walkthrough video for more details:

SET UP YOUR DEVICE

	Physical SIM card insertion/removal must be performed when device is powered off – external voltage disconnected. Otherwise, the SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it.

Device is delivered partly closed. Gently remove FTC881 cover.
Insert SIM card as shown. Make sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing towards SIM slot.
Battery is already connected, so after configuring device fully close casing.
Device is ready to be mounted.

PC CONNECTION (WINDOWS)

Power-up FTC881 with DC voltage (10-90V) power supply using power wires. LEDs should start blinking, see "LED BEHAVIOUR DESCRIPTION".
Connect device to computer using USB Type-C cable and install USB driver, see "HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS (WINDOWS)".

HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS (WINDOWS)

Please download COM port drivers from here.
Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
Click Next in driver installation window.
In the following window click Install button.
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.

CONFIGURATION (WINDOWS)

At first, FTC881 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator tool (TCT).

LED BEHAVIOUR DESCRIPTION

This section is an explanation of LED indications on FTC881 device.

NAVIGATION LED INDICATIONS

Behaviour	Meaning
Permanently switched on	GNSS signal is not received
Blinking every second	Normal mode, GNSS is working
Off	GNSS is turned off because: Device is not working or Device is in sleep mode
Blinking fast constantly	Device firmware is being flashed

STATUS LED INDICATIONS

Behaviour	Meaning
Blinking every second	Normal mode
Blinking every two seconds	Sleep mode
Blinking fast for a short time	Modem activity
Off	Device is not working or Device is in boot mode

PINOUT

PIN NUMBER	PIN NAME	DESCRIPTION
1	VCC	(Red) Power supply (+10-90 V DC) (+).
2	GND	(Black) Ground (-).

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

DEVICE FASTENING

Locate the battery in your vehicle. If present remove the battery cover to access the battery.
There is a double sided tape on the back of the device, use it to attach the device on the battery, so that the GNSS antenna and LEDs indicators are facing up.

CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

Device power wire is designed to be directly connected to the positive terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.

CONNECTING GROUND WIRE

Device ground wire is designed to be directly connected to the negative terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.
